Summary: Good, but not as good as others
Review: I like the Redwall series. I have all of them sitting on my shelf and I've read all of them 2 or 3 times. As the first book in the series, you can tell that Brian Jacques is still creating the world of Redwall Abbey. One can see markings of humans - a church, horse and cart, stuff like that - that doesn't appear in the rest of the series.Although it lacks some in comparison to other Redwall books, I still recommend reading this one first, and the others in the order they were published.

Summary: Fight fight inner light!
Review: Here's something I believed prior to reading the book "Redwall". In the fantasy literature genre of juvenile books boys enjoy, writers tend to have a great deal of difficulty writing strong female characters. Just look at C.S. Lewis's "The Narnia Chronicles", where women are not allowed to fight, for example. Normally, such books will contain a single strong female character and that's the end of that. There's one in Lloyd Alexander's books, one in the "Wrinkle in Time" books, one in "The Lord of the Rings" books, one in the "Harry Potter" books, etc. That said, imagine my surprise and delight when I discovered "Redwall". The story of a small mouse defending his Abbey has become a modern classic. And how many female warriors are in this book? I honestly can't say because they FILL the pages of this rightly popular series. Where else can you say that? Boys love the "Redwall" books, and for good reason. These readable little gems of fiction are packed with beautiful language, images, and prose that teach without seeming to. Want your kid to learn words like "tranquility" and "sibilant"? Want them to be interested in something that takes violence and war with an attitude that isn't flip or offhand? Want them to be entranced by fine storytelling? Finally, do YOU want to read something yourself that draws heavily on British culture and traditions without falling into remarkably dull passages for pages at a time? If so, I recommend "Redwall" wholly and without hesitation. And with its books being cranked out regularly by Mr. Jacques, I'm happy to say that there will be more and more of these beauties as time goes by.

Summary: Great Book
Review: I loved Redwall. This book was a heartwarming tale about th peaceful creatures of Redwall Abbey defending themselves from an evil rat lord. The strategic planning and surprises of the book are great. I look forward to more Jacques books in the future. I am on Mattimeo right now, and although the plots follow the same pattern, they are still great books. If you read them more pages at a time they are even better. I hope this review was hslpful to you.

Summary: The Great Book of Redwall
Review: I liked Redwall written by Brian Jacques. It is a great book about a young mouse named Matthias that grows up to be a warrior like the legendary Martin the Warrior. He lives in Redwall abbey, which is now under attack by the fearsome Cluny. The abbey learns to unite itself in order to save their peaceful home. Matthias learns the art of war as he leads the defenders while trying to find Martin's sword. If found, the sword could help save the abbey from destruction. I hope you will take the opportunity to read this book. It is a great book that shows how individuals can unite for the common good, as well as being a great book for just reading.

Summary: Redwall Rocks!
Review: The Redwall books are amazing. There are 15 300+ page books, enough to make even the most voracious reader busy. They tell the story of an Abbey of mice and woodland creatures and their struggles with the powers of the evil vermin. The stories range from adventure to action to romance to mystery to epic. If you read them, than tell other people about them. They lost a lot of publicity because of Harry Potter. They are some of the best books I have ever read. I LOVE THEM 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 TIMES MORE THAN HARRY POTTER! READ THEM OR MISS OUT ON THESE PERFECT BOOKS!

Summary: Redwall; The best book!!! ever
Review: I loved this book! I was very disappointed when it was over. There was a lot of action, because there were many little battles. It was a real cliffhanger, because every chapter it would change characters.
The story starts out, with a small, clumsy mouse named Matthias. He is carrying a basket full of hazelnuts, and he's looking at the sky. All of a sudden, he is caught daydreaming, he trips spilling the nuts, rolling down the hill, and bumps into the Abbot (Redwall Abbey's leader). Timidly and quickly, Matthias starts to gather the nuts. The Abbot lends his hand in helping the novice pick up the spilled basket of nuts.
Meanwhile, Cluny and his army of rats are out trying to find a place to stay. They stop at a place called St. Ninians Church, where John Churchmouse and his family live. Fortunately, they are at the Abbey. In the morning, Cluny orders his horde to go into the woods and find soldiers willing to fight for Cluny. He also said that if they refuse to join, threaten them with death.
Cluny goes to Redwall, and tries to cut a deal with the Abbot. Surrender or lose and be a slave under the rule of Cluny. The Abbot will have none of it. He says he would rather die than surrender to Cluny the Scourge. Cluny says the Abbot will be granted his wish.
The strategizing is on. Deceit and war lie ahead, for both armies. The first battle goes to the Abbot, but the war has just started.
READ THIS BOOK!!![...]

Summary: Adventurous Read!
Review: Redwall, by Brian Jacques is about a group of peaceful mice and woodland creatures that get attacked by an evil rat called Cluny the Scourge. One of the main characters is a mouse named Matthias. Matthias really looks up to a mouse called Martin the Warrior. Matthias wants to find Martin's tomb and sword.
There are two plots in this book. One is where Matthias goes through all his adventures trying to find Martin's sword. Another is at Redwall (where the mice live) when Cluny attacks it. The setting is at Redwall, which is in a place called Mossflower Wood. The theme is to be brave and never give up.
I really liked Redwall because it's very adventurous. When you read this, you won't want to put the book down!
